Abstract

This paper shows, that Runge-Kutta-processes, also those with multiple nodes, having been extended in a certain way from symmetrical quadrature formulas satisfy the following condition: The method with step size −h is the inverse of the method with step size +h.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird gezeigt, daß Runge-Kutta-Methoden, auch solche mit mehrfachen Knoten, welche in einer gewissen Weise aus symmetrischen Quadraturformeln gewonnen wurden, folgendes erfüllen: Die Methode mit der Schrittweite −h ist die Inverse zur Methode mit Schrittweite +h.
